Thanks...

Thanks...

My pleasure

It is required that one should send six copies of the application form to the embassy but, the application form is for one does this means it should it sent six times to the embassy. Lastly, there is only one space for passport, I don't understand how six passports will fit in. Good day

A passport photograph for a single application form. But since six copies of Application forms are required, do the mathematics. You are to send the six copies once well packed with other necessary documents inside a single big brown envelope.

ICCR accepts applications only through Indian Missions overseas. Candidates are advised to apply through the Indian missions in their respective countries. No application may be sent directly to ICCR or through their country’s Embassies/High Commissions in New Delhi.

Applying in person is more advisable.. From my own point of view though

Thanks, I don't understand who should I send the hard copies to and have you done yours.

Mohayaks:

Daboywizzy:

Yes. Am filling the form atm but they are asking for the syllabi and curricula of all the courses that someone did in university

Who has applied here, is it the transport fare to the India embassy in Nigeria that is stopping people from applying.

Am applying will be in abuja before the end of first week of january

Mohayaks:

It won't be easy to get syllabi of all the courses taken. I think attaching transcript should take care of all that. No institution will be listing out all the subjects taken for each course, that will be too voluminous. I stand to be corrected anyway.

Mohayaks:

I will try it out, though it entails rigour & consumes time.

Coschy:


do they require IELTS

Nop..but IELTs COuld be an advantage

Coschy:


do they require IELTS

If u have one to present, there's no offence in that. If not, there's no need for one, cos a mission representative will certify ur English proficiency @ the point of submission.
